Men’s Basketball: Mitrou-Long to sit out season

Iowa State guard Naz Mitrou-Long will miss the rest of the season while recovering from hip surgeries. The Cyclones announced the decision in a press release on Thursday afternoon.

Mitrou-Long will try to receive a medical redshirt. The move apparently stemmed from Mitrou-Long, who approached Prohm about it, according to a press release.

“This was an extremely difficult decision for me,” said Mitrou-Long in a statement. “As a player, there is nothing you want more than to help your team be successful. Following the surgery, I pushed myself incredibly hard to be ready for the season opener.
